What does decipoise measure?

Decipoise (dP) measures dynamic or absolute viscosity, indicating a fluid's internal resistance to shear flow.

Why convert decipoise to pascal second?

Converting from decipoise to pascal second standardizes viscosity data, allowing comparisons between CGS and SI unit systems used in different industries.

Is 1 decipoise equal to 1 pascal second?

No, 1 decipoise equals 0.01 pascal second.
